Introducing Integrated Sharing

Jared Hullett — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:54:24 +0000

Integrated Sharing allows ImageShare users to move studies to anyone all from the same place. When viewing a study, simply click “share” and enter the email of the recipient. If that person has an ImageShare account, he or she will receive the study in their inbox. If that individual does not have an ImageShare account he or she will receive an encrypted link that will grant temporary access to that particular study. Watch the short video below for full details on how to use Integrated Sharing.

Using Internet Explorer? Get Google Chrome Frame to Easily Improve Your Browsing of Medical Images.

Jared Hullett — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:27:33 +0000

ImageShare was designed for optimal performance in Google Chrome. But if you’re using Internet Explorer (IE) because you prefer that browser or because your internet service prevents you from getting Chrome, there’s a way to not only get the best ImageShare experience, but also get faster internet browsing in general!

Google Chrome Frame is an Open Source plugin that allows you to execute Chrome-like features on IE. Using the Frame, you can enable access to sites using HTML5 and other technology that may not be supported by your current browser. The enhanced JavaScript will boost performance and help make your applications run faster. This all happens seamlessly since Frame shares the network, cache, and cookies with your open IE so your log-ins will be preserved and all your open sites will stay as they are. You are in control of when it operates since it only starts when you tell it to, and it’s easy to opt in and out. Although it may take a few seconds longer to initiate, speed tests have shown that it loads pages noticeably faster after the initial load-up. For example, Gmail on Google Chrome Frame runs 30% faster.

Utilizing Frame will also enable smoother execution of ImageShare. Though most features work equally well on browsers such as IE and Firefox, the Chrome engine decreases the chance of running into bugs and allows for a friendlier interface. Physicians have noted that downloads, for instance, tend to be easier to work with when they show up in Chrome on the tab at the bottom of the screen rather than in separate. The feature that will show the most significant boost is our Viewer interface. Since it runs on its special JavaScript coding, having a more powerful engine like Chrome will allow users to run through the images with greater ease and fluidity. Our unique canvas function also operates more effectively on the technology supported by Chrome since it relies on relatively more advanced scripts that IE may not no longer be able to keep up with at this point.

Our mission has always been to bring the best service to physicians so patients can have the best care. That is why we are suggesting this software for consideration to our users. With a simple adjustment of an internet plug-in, doctors can achieve a better interface to evaluate their medical files. And when the physicians have a good experience, we have a good day.

From Diagnostics to Collaboration

Jared Hullett — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:00:12 +0000

The founding fathers of Vigilant began their ambitious careers in a research company working on the development of neuro-diagnostics tools. Keeping the physicians in mind even from the beginning, they went directly to doctors in various hospitals and asked for input on the tools. To their chagrin, they would hear physicians say, “Dude, we already have a lot of great tools here. What we REALLY need are better ways to COLLABORATE with other physicians.” Vigilant took the feedback to heart and thought about how they could help doctors improve the communication and exchange of medical information. They considered in the past few years how the web has given birth a number of great tools to effectively upload files (Dropbox), maintain organization (Remember the Milk), and share information (Google Docs) within a large group of colleagues. The founders wanted to adapt the best of these tools to fit the needs of physicians and enable them to achieve the optimal level of collaboration they and their patients deserve. Thus ImageShare was born.

Vigilant Medical, an innovative provider of web applications that enhance collaboration between physicians, announced today the one year anniversary of ImageShare.
Baltimore, MD (Vocus/PRWEB) April 05, 2011

Vigilant Medical, an innovative provider of web applications that enhance collaboration between physicians, announced today the one year anniversary of ImageShare.

ImageShare enables healthcare specialists the ability to intuitively interact and review medical images anytime, anywhere in order to make informed clinical decisions. Physicians can access the Vigilant Medical secure website to upload and share the full range of imaging studies (X-ray, CAT scan, or MRI).

“This is a very exciting milestone for our company shared Santosh Venkatesha, CEO of Vigilant Medical. “We measure our success knowing ImageShare has been well received by the medical community and physicians alike who benefit from immediate access to life saving information” Venkatesha continued.

Vigilant Medical’s solution addresses operational challenges physicians face every day in reviewing or offering a 2nd opinion on a patient’s imaging test. With ImageShare, specialists avoid the wait for images to arrive physically on a CD or potential duplication of the test, which may further delay patient care or create unnecessary additional medical costs.

“ImageShare is giving me the chance to review cardiac imaging studies promptly,” Dr. Lowell Satler an Interventional Cardiologist at Washington Hospital Center said. “I can receive any kind of image, perform my review, and speak to the referring doctors – all within minutes” Dr. Satler continued.

Currently, Vigilant Medical has a network of physicians in 5 large medical centers and over 100 referral medical facilities (community hospitals, cardiac catheterization labs, clinics, and doctor’s offices) using ImageShare to improve the quality of care provided to patients.

What does Vigilant Medical do?

Our Web application, ImageShare, enhances physician collaboration by providing access to medical images any time, anywhere. Using our service, images — X-rays, CAT scans, MRIs — are available quickly and securely online. The problem that’s commonly encountered today is that a physician puts an image on a CD and gives it to the patient to take to the specialist. Or it is mailed, or taken to the specialist by courier. Now they can receive these images on the Web.

What types of clients do you have?

We have five large medical centers in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic using our service, particularly specialists in cardiovascular practices. Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., has been a customer for the past year.

What are your plans for growing the company?

We’re going to continue to push our solution out for national use. That’s our goal this year. We’re going to target hospitals in the Southeast and on the West Coast. We’re also exploring use by neurologists and neurosurgeons.

Will the national push toward electronic medical records help your company?

It’s all very positive. There’s been a real critical mass with the Obama administration investing in electronic medical records. I see a lot of opportunity to grow from where we are today with a fully wired electronic medical records system. Everyone in the health care chain expects that they will have access to health care information, any time, anywhere.
